Jack and Kate Opinion Article

{Jate FOTM of February} Interview with lovely Rochelle!

Since Hannah, previous winner is out of fanpop at the moment I decided to put Rochelle's Interview on my own :) Sorry for being so late with this.

1.Jongrats Rochelle! You are newest Jate FOTM winner! How do you feel about it?
Happy, but I feel like other people really deserved it as well. There are so many amazing Jaters <3

2.As usually, maybe you could tell us something about yourself firstly?
Well, my name’s Rochelle, I’m 15 and from Australia and I love Lost and writing music.

3.Why, when and how did you start watching Lost? And what keeped you interested in it?
My sister owned the series and when she was watching an episode from season 2 I joined her. I think the episode was Maternity Leave. I found the show really interesting and liked Kate a lot. So I borrowed season 1 & fell in love with Jack and Jate!

4.What about Jate? When you started to like them, which scene made you a shipper?

The scene that made me love them was in The Moth

I didn’t really know what shipping a couple was when I first watched Lost, but I did love Jate a lot more than Skate! The scene that made me love them was in The Moth, when Kate rushed back to help Jack because she was so worried. & also the hug in that episode♥

5.Can you tell us how high is Jate on your top couples list right now?
Jate is number 2 at the moment! Brucas (from One Tree Hill) is my number 1. I’d say they’re tied, though.

6.As a Jater how do you feel about:-Skate: Didn’t like them when I first watched, but re-watching I don’t hate them. Liked them in season 2 and 5.-Sawyer: Eh, he’s overrated. I liked him in season 5, but rest of the seasons- not a fan.-Jacket:I really liked them. They were cute and flirty, but I did miss my Jate ):-Juliet:Love her <3 Best female alongside Kate and Shannon!-Suliet: Loved them <3 Sawyer was becoming a man and she had helped him to grow into that, until The Incident...

7.Was there any point in your Jate adventure that you stopped believing in them? When you give up on shipping them?
Nonono! Haha, I always loved them & never gave up. I just knew they had to be together

they’re my favourite Lost ship by a long mile

in the end. If not then something was definitely wrong!

8.Is Jate your favourite Lost ship? If no, which one is it? If yes, which other ships you also like\love?
Yes, they’re my favourite Lost ship by a long mile. I also love DesPen, Suliet, PB&J and Jacket, but all Lost ships are great. I don’t hate any apart from Ben & Juliet and I don’t really care for Hurley & Libby.

just a smile, a look or the simplest of words.

9.What is so special about Jate? What is your favourite thing about them?
Lots of things are special about them. They are epic, angsty, fluffy, flirty, sexy. They just have this great mix of so many emotions, unlike any other couple I’ve ever seen. They never seem forced, and when they’re together it’s just the most natural thing. So my favourite thing would be the way that they just mesh together and the way that they care so deeply for each-other, but they don’t need to convey it with a kiss or sex, just a smile, a look or the simplest of words.

10.What is your favourite thing about Jack? And favourite thing about Kate?
About Jack…well apart from his sizzling body and mega-watt smile I also love his “fixing” personality. I’m a perfectionist so I can relate! He’s smart and doesn’t apologise for who he is. He’s also very caring and kind and will do anything for the ones he loves. A real hero.
The thing I love about Kate is her passion for life. She’s a very strong women who can be vulnerable and tough all at the same time. She isn’t just hardcore, she is very sweet and tender at times. She tries her hardest to be someone to be proud of, but sometimes she can’t be that person. She knows it, but she still tries and people (a.k.a Jack) still love her for her.

Kiss: Cliff kiss.Hug: The Moth hug or the one before the kiss in 2x09.Hand holding: TMFT, does that count?Face touch: “I’ve missed you so much.”Look: Before the bomb drops. Oh my god it was so epic. I got chills!Hot moment: Hallway Jex with the ass grab & 316 sex.Quote: “Nothing is irreversible.”Season: 1 or 3 or 6, ahhhh can’t choose :/Episode: The End or Through the Looking Glass.

14.Would you rather have different actors playing Jack and Kate or Foxy and Evi being a part of a different show not written by Darlton?
Both are pretty bad! But I seriously can’t imagine anyone else playing Jate, so different show. As long as it’s a good one!

15.Your favourite quote on Jate said by memer of cast or crew?
“In some kind of cosmic way they just get each-other.” (It’s actually from the script, but I LOVE THIS QUOTE!)

“In some kind of cosmic way they just get each-other.”

16.Your favourite Mevie quote? On Evi said by Matthew or on Matthew said by Evi.
This quote is from Matthew (about Evi): She’s so beautiful it’s hard to concentrate around her.
Love it!

17.This or that and WHY?

They will always end up with each-other in the end.

-Jack or Kate? Jack, because he is GOD. (;-Skate or Jacket? Jacket I loved at one point, Skate I never got into.-Matthew or Evangeline? Matthew, but both are lovely.-Season 3 or season 6? Ugh, hard one. I’ll have to go with 6 because of cliff kiss, but season 3 is epic too. Everything Jate is epic!-Jate hugs or face touches? Both are amazing, but face touches are a Jate thing <3-Jack or Matthew? Jack, of course. I love Matthew, but Shephard is King.-Evangeline or Kate? Evangeline, but I love Kate as well.-First meeting or ‘that’s not how you know me’? First meeting is my third favourite Jate moment!-Fixing or Coming back for each other? Coming back for each-other. They will always end up with each-other in the end.

19. Most ridiculous thing Haters were saying before series finale?
“Jack and Kate loved others much more than they will ever love each-other. They are only hiding their true feelings and using each-other as masks for who they really love. Skate and Jacket will get the endgame.” BULL-SHIT!

20. Most ridiculous thing Haters were saying after series finale?
“Jack and Kate didn’t get endgame. Kate will always love Sawyer more than Jack. In the afterlife Skate will be together. They are the true endgame.” I’ve actually heard quite a few people say this & my reply: HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I’m very protective of them

21. When you see people saying shit and completely delusional things on Jate, how do you react?
I try and keep calm, but when you hear people say things like “Kate will never love Jack the way she loved Sawyer” you just get angry. One of my friends is a HUGE Anti-Jater and on some occasions I have gotten so mad at her because of the things she has said about Jate. I’m very protective of them, but I know when I’m crossing a line with the things I say so I try and be honest, but not too mean about SK. I don’t hate them, anyway.

22. You can "borrow" one scene from each one of the Lost main couples. Which one do you choose?- Charlie & Claire: The look at the concert in The End. I got goosebumps.- Sawyer & Juliet: The kiss in the kitchen. Sweet, but epic. I’d always love to see Jack bring Kate flowers.- Sawyer & Kate: Um, maybe the hug after Ana-Lucia and Libby died. That’s probably my favourite SK moment.- Desmond & Penny: The phone call, or the epic reunion.- Jin & Sun: This is going to sound bad, but the drowning moment. Well, maybe not Jate drowning, but them near death and Jack going back and staying with Kate even if he’ll die too.- any other couple: from Shayid their sex scene. Pretty hot.

ate can say so much more with just a look

23. Let’s say you are taking part in Great TV Jate vs Skate battle. You can use only 3 arguments to prove Jate is Fate and Jate > Skate. What do you say?
Only 3? Haha. Well firstly I’d tell whoever I was arguing against to rewatch all the seasons and then if they still tell me that Jate isn’t fate then I haven’t done my job. Secondly I’d tell them that Jate can say so much more with just a look than Skate can with cage sex or kisses or anything. Lastly I’d tell them about the Jate fans and all their crazy, amazing personalities and if that doesn’t convince them nothing will (:

24. Is there anything in Jate journey you would change?
No, except I’d have liked more scenes on-island in Season 4. Off-island they were amazing and on-island they were obsessing over the wrong person for them!

26: Favourite reason from 'Reasons we will always be Jaters' list?
Love a lot, but I’m choosing my top 5:
1.Because she has always been with him.
2.Because he made her stop running.
3.Because they verbally copulate
4.Because she has 'never been able to help herself be madly in love with Jack.'
5.Because they are both BAMF

27: Your favourite Anti!Skate moment EVER?
Hmm, the cliff kiss because Jate got endgame and Skate did not. I also love the moment in the Moth where she ditches Sawyer to go back for Jack.

When it comes to kisses the first kiss is quite underrated.

28. How would you feel if you lived in some Alternate World where it’s Skate which get endgame? How would you react?
WTF!!! Haha, no seriously I’d be so freaking mad, but then I wouldn’t know the magic of Jate and wouldn’t be living a life worth living (:

29. In your opinion, what's the most underrated Jate thing?
When it comes to kisses the first kiss is quite underrated. It’s normally lower on people’s lists. A lot of scenes from the Pilot like the handholding in the cockpit and Kate screaming Jack’s name are underrated. So season 1 scenes in general.

It was even better than I expected.

30. Was series finale what you expected for Jate?
Yes, epic kiss? Check. Amazing quotes? Check. Endgame? Check, check, check (: It was even better than I expected.

31. Any last words?
Yes, I loved this interview and all the questions were great. Whoever wins next you really deserve it! & JATE FOREVER <3
